dfIndexeddb

dfindexeddb is an experimental Python tool for performing digital forensic analysis of IndexedDB and leveldb files.

It parses leveldb, IndexedDB and javascript structures from these files without requiring native libraries.

The content of IndexedDB files is dependent on what a web application stores locally/offline using the web browser's IndexedDB API. Examples of content might include:

  • text from a text/source-code editor application,
  • emails and contact information from an e-mail application,
  • images and metadata from a photo gallery application

  • tools/indexeddb_dump.py - parses structures from an IndexedDB and prints them to standard output.
    • Optionally, you can also install the leveldb python package if you would prefer to use a native leveldb library instead of the leveldb parser in this repository.
  • tools/ldb_dump.py - parses structures from a LevelDB .ldb file and prints them to standard output.
  • tools/log_dump.py - parses structures from a LevelDB .log file and prints them to standard output.
